The games are exciting but they can also be long. Your metabolisim during one of these extended periods of demand, runs like a machine. You have to keep feeding your body or it will break down. Now don't go crazy filling up on  garbage snacks. The sugar rush will wear off pretty quick and you will be feeling sluggish and praying that the ball goes anywhere but to you. If you had your complex carbs hours before the game and you are snacking on protein rich bars, beef jerky, or one of the best new ways to get a lot of protein with out a heavy shake on the go, the New Whey shots from IDS, you will be fine . These guys are a quick one shot mouthful high protein source, that wont leave you feeling full.

 

You will be in great shape for the game, tournament, or whatever comes your way. Remember we did say snacking not gorging. Don't take down heavy foods or eat non stop from opening pitch until the parking lot, Then sluggish will be an understatement.
